I don't now why but I always like to write Dual Boot articles from time to time.

On this time I bought myself a new 2TB Hard disk and installed eComStation 2.1 and Windows 8 in a dual boot configuration.

For this case I choose to use Windows Boot Manager as my boot manager.

This article shows pictures step by step.

Starting Installing eComStation 2.1

I started installing eComStation on the new hard drive. So I plugged the new HDD and put the eComStation CD-ROM to boot from it.


Choose to boot with "own values" to configure your machine specs:

I made the cd to boot with ACPI driver.

I also has the AHCI mode enabled, so I had to turn this on too.

It will boot and you will see that I enabled that two drivers.

ok, it is loading..
